Abstract
Lower limb fractures are quite frequent, and in case of natural disasters and ac-cidents their quantity increases significantly. Lower limb fractures are mostly attributed to traumas, which involve inpatient treatment. Generally displaced fractures involve surgical treatment. The period of fusion of long bones is the longest, which may lead to temporary incapacitation. The proper organization of medical help for the patient with lower limb fracture plays an important role in restoration of function and vocational rehabilitation. It is the proper diagnosis, the amount of help on all levels and stages of medical evacuation of the patients with lower limb fractures that is the guaranty of satis-factory functional outcome.
